FAQs

Can I use fresh banana instead of frozen?

Yes, but fresh banana will make the smoothie less cold and less thick. You can add ice cubes to chill it or freeze slices of banana beforehand for best results.

Is Greek yogurt necessary?

Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, but you can substitute it with any yogurt type or even a dairy-free alternative if preferred.
